I said I wanted at least everything the Bodega Bay has, with maybe a video port. Nothing more. The Bodega Bay has a case. This will have the same, only on end. Never said a lower price. I said the same price, give or take $30 or so (read into this price for the keyboard CASE). Same for same my friend, only it's standing on end. Offering the same thing the Bodega Bay has in a tower (Note that we don't have two cases now, we have ooooneee ooooon eeeeend), with a plastic CASE for the 500's detached keyboard, and MAYBE a video port (if costs permit) for AROUND the same price as the Bodega Bay is not "more for less". I never said it should cost less than the Bodega Bay. Somehow you've distorted my original message to make it sound like I want a miracle (Don't confuse me with the other people you've been arguing with..I wrote the original message). For the sake of clarity, I'll re-write a short description of that message: I said the Bodega Bay is one nice looking system, but I'd much rather have it in tower form. The 500's keyboard gets detached and the 500's motherboard goes inside the tower (standing on it's end inside it). The 500's internal RAM cards and CPU cards (that go in the RAM slot or on the motherboard) can still be installed on it. This eliminates the need for a CPU port like the 2000 has. The ONLY added feature I'd like to MAYBE see (If cost permits) is a video port. Now, that doesn't sound like too tall an order to me. It's a Bodega Bay on end with a little extra plastic here and there..Oh, and a cord for the keyboard. I hardly doubt that would add more than $30 to the price tag..which I stated in the original message. Read before you leap... Tom -- Why purchase a MAC when an Amiga with the same CPU will run 99% of all __ MAC software..and FASTER at that?! The same can be said of the IBM and __/// Atari computers, and I can run those in a window. IBM's greatest sales \XX/ tool is ignorance on the consumer's part. Only the Amiga! DEVO Anyone?
